Re: Your Hermes male fragrance favourite

I have to qualify my answer (TdH) with the fact that I only have Equipage and TdH and have not sniffed the others. Equipage I'm having problems warming up to (but I like it) possibly due to the slight Bay Rum notes that it produces on my skin (which I don't really care for) ... Terre d'Hermes on the other hand is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... and is so like a bitter citrus (in a good way) version of Chanel Sycomore due no doubt to the vetiver, and Sycomore is one of my all time favorites, close to a HG for me.)

Re: Your Hermes male fragrance favourite

I've tried all the male Hermes scents, vintage and current. However, as I have not spent a great deal of time with a few I do not consider myself to be qualified to answer in the poll.

I own TdH and EdOV and enjoyed Rocabar and Bel Ami. I wore Equipage on my wrist today, courtesy of Nordstroms, and I like it much better than I had in the past but still consider it a bit dated for my tastes. Bel Ami is bright and spicy but I need to give it a full wearing to convince myself I can wear it comfortably. As for Rocabar, well, I don't remember much of Rocabar other than I liked it. Solid, solid house.

Re: Your Hermes male fragrance favourite

From your four choices, I have Bel Ami, Equipage and TdH. Of these three, my favorite would be Equipage

From the house of Hermes, my favorites would be: Vetiver Tonka and Ambre Narguile and Un Jardin En Mediterranee. The first 2 are still on my wishlist. Wallet doesn't allow me make them a member of my family yet. hahahaha

Re: Your Hermes male fragrance favourite

Out of those, TdH. Out of all of them, TdH. Though I did enjoy VdH and Eau d'Orange Verte quite a bit. I like the Jardin's somewhat, but are not bottle worthy to me as these 3 are. I just wish I could find TdH somewhere reduced, but it never goes on sale, at least nothing in my budget. I may have to spring for it soon.

Re: Your Hermes male fragrance favourite

I love all of them, but i have voted TERRE D'HERMÈS and do not know why...

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
